The Lincolnite has searched through archive footage to bring you shots of Lincoln through the years.

The footage, published by the British Film Institute shows an array of images from as early as 1900, giving us a taste of what Lincoln was like back in the day.

Take a look back at some of the footage we have come across:

By 1900, Lincoln’s heavy engineering industry was flourishing and it’s likely these workers were building locomotives or producing agricultural machinery at one of the many companies based in the city at the time.

The name of the factory remains a mystery.
